INFERNAEON Keyboardist Responds To WERNER's 'Intellectual Property Rights' Ownership Claim

April 26, 2011

Keyboard player David Stein of the Florida-based blackened death metal group INFERNAEON has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET regarding singer Brian Werner's claim that Brian is "the sole owner of ALL intellectual property rights, the name itself, all the lyrics, most of the music, all the artwork, the logo, all the social media sites, [and] all the merchandise [rights]" related to INFERNAEON:

"Please do a Whois on the [domain] name Infernaeon.com and you will see that my company has owned and used the name INFERNAEON in commerce since 7/14/2004 which was when my brother Kevin formed the band and put out a demo and asked me to acquire the domain for him and set up a web site. Additionally, we own Infernaeon.net and Infernaeon.org all dating back to 2004, which I have purchase receipts for. I also have receipts proving I put over $14,000 into this band within the last year and a half for numerous band bills including our recording and tour, that my brother contributed a truck worth at least $8,000 as trade for a camper on tour, and that Steven shelled out $6,000 in cash that he contributed for a replacement van that would immediately afterwards break down on us. No one else in INFERNAEON can make these claims whatsoever. No one else but me has the receipts and I will gladly show them in court."

INFERNAEON's latest album, "Genesis To Nemesis", was released on August 31, 2010 via Prosthetic Records. The CD was recorded at Erik Rutan's Mana Recording Studios (GOATWHORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, HATE ETERNAL) in St. Petersburg, Florida with producer Brian Elliott. The cover artwork was created by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco.

"Genesis To Nemesis" features guest appearances by Oderus Urungus (GWAR),Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL, MORBID ANGEL),John Zahner (SAVATAGE),Bill Hudson (COLDERA, CELLADOR, CIRCLE II CIRCLE, POWER QUEST) and John Slaughter (COLDERA, SKINDUSTRY).
